The purpose of this open-label study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneously (SC; under the skin) administered GAMUNEX-C compared to intravenously (IV; through the vein) administered GAMUNEX-C in subjects 2-16 years of age with Primary Immunodeficiency.
This study was a multi-center, open-label, single-sequence, crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of SC-administered GAMUNEX-C in pediatric PI subjects (ages 2-16). The study consisted of a Screening Phase, Run-in Phase, two treatment phases (an IV Phase and a SC Phase), and an End of Study/Early Termination (EOS/ET) visit. Run-in phase: 3 - 4 months, IV Phase: \~ 4 - 5 weeks, SC Phase: 12 weeks, and End of Study/Early Termination (EOS/ET) visit: one week after SC Week #12.

Steady-state Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Serum Total Immunoglobulin (IgG)
Steady-state area under the curve (AUC): For the IV phase, the mean adjusted AUC was calculated for all 11 subjects, which included subjects on both 3 and 4 week intravenous (IV) dosing schedules and who had sufficient immunoglobulin G (IgG) data. For the SC phase, the mean AUC was calculated for 10 subjects on weekly subcutaneous (SC) administration and who had sufficient IgG data.
Time frame: 4 to 5 weeks for IV administration; 12 weeks for SC administration
Mean Trough of Serum Total IgG
Mean trough serum total IgG values were calculated for each subject for the IV Phase (IV #1 and IV #2) and the SC phase (SC Weeks #9 and #12, and End of Treatment/Early termination visit). Mean trough concentration values of serum total IgG during the IV and SC phases were calculated based on the IgG population (subjects who received any amount of study drug and had serum total IgG concentration data).
Time frame: 4 - 5 weeks of IV administration and 12 weeks for SC administration
